Great location
We had a great family trip. The house was super cozy and the layout was perfect. There were a couple issues with damage to the home when we checked in from the storm the previous week but Yolanda was easy to reach and communication was great. Overall it was a great trip.

Weekend Beach Getaway
We enjoyed thoroughly the trip down to Galveston, and as usual enjoyed the sights and the food. The house was amazing, and afforded an easy walk down to the beach. It was very quiet, which we appreciated, and is in a smaller neighborhood which also helps present a cozy environment. The house came with all the amenities needed to cook if you wanted to, all appliances worked, AC was just fine with fans running. We had stayed in this neighborhood previously (not this house) and will definitely be back. The host was very much available if needed. We highly recommend this house if you're coming to Galveston with family.

Everything is excellent. The furnishings and appliances are high quality, and the decor is tasteful. However, the AC vents make a hellacious noise when the unit runs, which is noticeable especially in the bedrooms at night, when the surroundings are otherwise quiet. Other than that, the stay has been very pleasant and memorable. Will come back!

Close to the Beach
Great home two rows back from the beach. We enjoyed being away from the Seawall crowd and had the beach to ourselves for most of our stay. Home was lovely and had just the right amount of space for our group. Communication with the owner, Yolanda, was outstanding. We were traveling following the hurricane and she kept us informed every step of the way regarding power restoration, condition of the property, etc. Check in was easy, property was as promised, etc. Highly recommend booking Docs Quarters!

Great Location!
We visited this location over the 4th of July weekend, and the hidden treasure of this unit is the virutally private beach! It is a short walk to get your toes in the sand, but what's not mentioned is there are no vehicles on the beach here. So even on the 4th of July weekend, we had plenty of room get comfy without the crowds! The condo is exactly as listed, great accommodations and room for every one to be comfortable. It was clean, and the check in was effortless. We will definitely be back!

A wonderful and very secure place. We survived Hurricane Beryl that first night and the property emerged unscathed. It had everything we needed and then some! The host provided for our every need. Would definitely return for our next vacation (but hopefully without the hurricane next time).

Convenient & Beautiful Property Tucked Away From The Crowds
This property is about 20 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Galveston. It is right next door to a grocery store and walking distance from the beach. Our family has an absolute blast staying there. The beach was not nearly as crowded as the ones on the main drag down by the Seawall. The living room was open and beautiful looking out over the other properties and the gulf off in the short distance. Overall we had a great experience and the family really enjoyed it all.

Very nice place to stay
There was 8 total in our party. 4 adults and 4 kids. Plenty of room for everyone. The condo was clean and the balcony’s had great views of the ocean. We enjoyed staying here and would recommend to family and friends. It’s on our “to book again list”. Also the host is very quick in responding to questions which was also helpful.

Perfect for what we wanted
This place was excellent. We enjoyed it. This was our first VRBO and we will do it again. Couple of things….We only had one trash bag which wasn’t great for 7 people for 3 days. We also had to go buy body soap. Be careful when walking to the beach via the backyard, there was some sewer overflow issues. It’s just as easy to walk via the road. The beach was mossy but our kids didn’t care one bit. They loved the waves and we loved resting.

The home was close to the beach and had everything we needed for a quick get away. The balcony was pleasant in the morning for coffee. The picnic table on the first floor was great for a shrimp boil during the afternoon. We had a great time.

Nice Home close to the beach
House is nice, a bit dated, need new paint and some repairs in the stairwell. Cleaners didn't do a very good job cleaning for our arrival. Definitely suggest to bring extra paper products and all soaps , detergents. We stay at a lot of VRBO's and this one had the least options for the stay. Very limited cable, so really only one TV upstairs in the living room to stream tv. When it rains everything around there floods. Very bad drainage and smells like sewer really bad! But that's not the owners fault. Overall we had a good time.

About the host

Hosted by Yolanda

Host profile image
We have lived along the Texas Gulf Coast for over 25 years. We have seen Galveston grow into an exciting and beautiful resort city with a small hometown culture! We enjoy walking along the beach especially early mornings and late evenings - watching the sun rise and the moon's radiant glow on the waves.

Why they chose this property

We found the location great being that it is just a few steps from the beach!! The area is quiet and has a small-town atmosphere. The grocery story (fully stocked) next door is great for purchasing ice cream or picking up steaks!

What makes this property unique

Very private and close to the beach! A great, clean beach! No vehicles allowed for children safety!
